March 26, 2026 (MLN): Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (PSX:OGDC) has made a significant gas discovery at the Sahito-1 exploratory well in the Khewari Exploration License, located in District Khairpur, Sindh.

The company, operating with a 95% stake alongside Government Holdings (Private) Limited holding a 5% carried interest, reported that testing of the Lower Goru Formation (Massive Sand) yielded promising results.

Drill Stem Testing (DST) produced approximately 17.2 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD) using a 32/64" choke, with a wellhead flowing pressure of 3,390 psi.

Sahito-1 was spudded on December 24, 2025, as part of an exploratory campaign and drilled to a total depth of 3,870 meters (TVD) in the Sembar Formation. The well was completed using OGDCL’s in-house technical expertise.

The discovery marks an important step forward in efforts to strengthen Pakistan’s domestic energy resources.

It is expected to contribute toward narrowing the country’s energy demand-supply gap while enhancing hydrocarbon reserves for OGDCL, its joint venture partner, and the nation overall.

The aforementioned  was disseminated through a notification to Exchange.
